I'm planning a trip to Fredericksburg in March and I'm wondering has anyone ever rode the Willow City Loop? Been looking it up online and it looks interesting so just wanting some feedback. RIDE FREE!!!
Duff - Yes, have ridden the Willow City Loop several times. Its nice, but short. From F-Burg, your talking about a 45 minute round-trip even with some scenic stops.
You ought to look further south and southwest. From Kerrville, 27 miles south of F-Burg, catch Hwy16 South towards Medina. Then catch FM 337 West (one of famed Twisted Three Sisters) over to Leakey on Frio River. While in Leakey, stop off a while at the Frio Canyon MC Stop too for a good biker hang. This is pretty much a solid day ride out of F-Burg, but worth every mile if you are new to riding in the Hill Country.
Up on the Willow City Loop, there used to be a great biker joint in Willow City called Harry's On The Loop, but not sure if it is around anymore. Was down there a few months ago on a weekend with great weather and the place was vacant.
Also when in F-Burg, your only about 7 miles to Luckenbach. Another short ride but a must-stop for bikers if in the area.
Have seen some Hill Country Biker Maps around that have all the great rides plotted out. No shortage of scenery, twisties and smiles down that way!
Peace!
